“C” Stands for Crown Metals

Just something about this hallmark, made me want to kick off the “C” box with Crown Metals. Their signature Crown stamp is among the best out there in my opinion. Simple, yet edgy. It’s a crown fit for a King. They are out of Canada (I believe Ontario), and are a scrap metals company that no longer pours ingots. Timeframe on these by appearance, looks to be early 80s give or take a few years. They are rarely found anymore, but more commonly found in 5 oz class. The other sizes that have come up are 25 oz, which are very very rare. Enjoy the pictures below.

Keep in mind these are decades old, so finding in perfect condition is next to impossible. The top ingot is pretty darn close to perfect.
Reverse shows slight difference, with weight stamp and purity stamp in different places. Not uncommon to see this with old pours. Bottom ingot is an odd weight.

Very excited to share an example that was sent to me by my buddy Brian R., who acquired a rare 25 double hallmarked Crown Metals ingot recently. Stunning piece.

Serious chunk of toned beauty here. Very tough piece to find.
Nice reverse, excellent condition with toning around all edges.
Crazy rainbow toning on edge. A thing of beauty.
